Me.

Once again, I find myself staring hopelessly at a once blank document as my tiring mind tries hard to think of something original to produce. Creating art through words and freely expressing myself is simply what I love to do. 

I discovered this growing passion for writing around late elementary or early middle school. I can’t remember exactly the time the events took place, all I know for sure is that is when I produced my very first song writing. 

Now, I’m not going to lie and say that this song could be Grammy Award Nominated, but I’m definitely not going to knock its potential. Song writing was a passion of mine before the actual idea of storytelling even crossed my mind.

From my middle school life up to now I have filled around two and a half composition books with nothing but completed songs and poetry. This is simply my favorite way to express myself and truly vent. I haven’t been writing in those composition books as of late, but I do plan to soon start back.

I’m glad that I still have access to my earlier works. It shows that there has been great improvement of my craft. Of course, as any true artist knows, your improvement of you craft is never really complete. Their are always things that you’re going to want to change and edit. And that’s perfectly fine, but please don’t spend too long on a single piece. I find that when you do that, you lose vision of the original meaning for the work and it soon becomes pointless to you.

I don’t know exactly what this blog is about, but I hope at least one artist’s soul can relate to this in some way. Until next time friends, remember your authentic nature.

One thought on “Me.”

  1. That’s so cool that you’ve been writing since elementary school! I hope some of your songs get published some day!
